We Are At Our Fighting Weight | Force Design 2030 Annual Update 2023

Today, the #MarineCorps is better prepared to serve as a naval expeditionary force-in-readiness alongside being better suited to support joint campaigns. While accelerating modernization is essential, our warfighting capabilities are only as effective as the Marines employing them. Our #Marines remain the key to sustaining and improving our competitive advantages.

Continued experimentation and learning will undoubtedly uncover additional refinements to improve the force. However, feedback from Fleet Marine Forces, fielding of new equipment and technologies, and experimentation of new tactics, have thus far have resulted in a Marine Corps that is better organized, trained and equipped to meet global challenges of the 21st century.

When I joined in 2016, I was trained by Afghan vets to fight an insurgency.

When I got out in 2021, we were training ourselves to fight a conventional force.

Every generation has a different war to prepare for, no one fight is the same. Ukraines fight today is a good example of what our Marines are preparing for. Cyber warfare, drones, and fucking trenches.

Great, now let’s invest in safe housing and water for our Marines! No more black mold in the barracks. Drinking water that actually tests to a high quality standard. Decent, fresh cooked, healthy chow. I doesn’t matter what awesome hardware you have if your Marines aren’t healthy enough to perform at peak levels.

Marines have certainly always set the standards... for commercials too

[glomanibravolopez]

Love to hear our Marine Corps leaders talking about talent development (just as important as technological) within the Corps and embracing innovation. Semper Fi!

Lean, like the support Marines get when they get back home.

[matthewgioia]

Oorah. I can’t wait to join. Scheduled to ship out to PI in October, possibly even August. Let’s go!

Semper Fi. Disabled Marine Desert Shield/Storm. 13th Meu Blt 1/4 .

The Corps got rid of its
Tanks.
Tubed Arty.
Belt Fed Squad weapons.
Platoon Snipers.
Gave each Marine a M27 IAR with a LPVO optic and suppressor.
The grenade launcher is back to being a standalone piece of gear.
And you want to put Marine detachments back on Naval ships that aren't amphibs.
And chose an aircraft that has been in development hell for years.

Now THAT is how you make a military advert!
